Locked On Falcons - Daily Podcast On The Atlanta Falcons Locked On Podcast Network

The Atlanta Falcons were embarrassed in a 23-7 Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars overseas in London, England thanks to a pathetic turnover-prone performance from quarterback Desmond Ridder. Despite three turnovers from Ridder, host Aaron Freeman breaks down why he doesn't think it's time yet to call upon Taylor Heinicke to start. He discusses why the Falcons still have time to salvage Ridder, but the clock is ticking and the leash is tightening.

He also discusses the solid performance of the Falcons defense includig A.J. Terrell's successes and failures with shadowing and containing Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley. He discusses how the defense can take their play to another level if they get defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to play like a "dude" once more.

Finally, he discusses how much of the team's issues are on head coach and play-caller Arthur Smith, and how much share of the blame he has with the quarterback when it comes from the offense's lack of explosive plays. Aaron explains why he's not ready to hit the panic button even with a quarter of the season down.

The Atlanta Falcons went over to London and layed an absolute egg against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Desmond Ridder was a big part of it by throwing two interceptions in the first half. Arthur Smith stuck with the young quarterback instead of bringing Taylor Heinicke into the football game. There was one bright spot for the Falcons and that was how Ryan Nielsen's defense played. Grady Jarrett, David Onyemata, and Bud Dupree all were able to record sacks on Trevor Lawrence.

The Atlanta Falcons travel to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4. Host Aaron Freeman is joined by Jarvis Davis (@LockedOnATL) to discuss the keys to victory and potential "X factors" in the matchup. They break down the Falcons need to reestablish their identity as a run-first team and whether receivers like Drake London and Kyle Pitts can shine overseas.

They also break down whether or not the Falcons are performing as expected through three games, and whether a big splash is needed to make a big trade for Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter. Lastly, they discuss their thoughts on British cuisine like fish and chips and English breakfast.

The Atlanta Falcons disappointed in their 20-6 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 3, thanks to underwhelming play from both their quarterback Desmond Ridder and their offensive line. Host Aaron Freeman explains why he felt their line was the bigger letdown given the expectations he had for the offense entering the season.

He also discusses the signing of offensive tackle Storm Norton off the New Orleans Saints practice squad to fill the void left by linebacker Troy Andersen going on injured reserve. He looks at the Falcons' first 18 plays vs. the Lions to see if their play-calling and gameplan were poor. Later, he looks at the defense's ability to dial up pressure, slow down Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, and if their new-look "ruby" dime defense will get scrapped in light of Andersen's injury.
